Meriday Preschool

If I could give a zero I would. Linda is the worst director we have ever come across. No genuine care about children. Walked by her screaming at employees over her own disorganization. If you have any questions she will never be able to give you a direct answer. Very condescending and disrespectful. Allows sick children to stay and get other children sick. She should be fired and reported for the way we heard her speaking to her own employees today. Absolutely disgusting.

Very happy so far! My son is in the infant class and we have been very happy so far. The staff are very kind and seem like they genuinely care. The daycare is very affordable and very conveniently located. It was highly recommended to me by two co-workers who had also sent their kids here and I have not been disappointed. It’s also nice that they give the option of keeping to the school schedule since I work in the school system.

Incredibly high teacher turnover. Poor communication from director, who is often condescending about basic needs. We witnessed children often being spoken to in an aggressive and demeaning manor. Child was frequently sent home with undocumented bumps, bruises, etc. No consistency in room changes. Does not follow established sick policy. They repeatedly withheld water from child. They do not assist in potty training. We gave up summers being covered, as well food and after care being included to get away from here. The amenities are not worth the trauma.

You would think as the parent, you’re checking out the place to see if you want your child to go there. They are actually having you come in and take a ‘rushed’ tour by Linda to see if they are comfortable with you, the parent. I didn’t feel the tour had anything to do with my child getting comfortable with the environment. Besides couple classrooms kids were left unattended. The setting seemed depressing. Kristy will tell you on the phone, she ‘doesn’t know’ if her daycare accepts 4c just to have you come in and meet Linda! So Linda can tell the feel she gets from the parent to Kristy. From there they decide whether they want your child coming there or not. They’ll waist your time. They pick and choose who they want there.

Clean, organized and loving pre-school. Meriday does a wonderful job getting children ready for kindergarten. All 3 of my children have attended! Highly recommend.
